Hi All,
Does anybody know if it is possible to disable the the software update feature on the S3 GT-I9300? My phone has just downloaded the new update 26/07/12 and l have managed to find the option to delay the update but not stop the update. l have read that the local search has been removed accidently or on purpose and there is still a chance they will not add it back in on later updates, and l do not want to root my phone just yet to do the work around.

I am also looking to disable the update and I AM rooted.
How can this be done please?
EDIT: I 'froze' the Software Update app so hopefully that will do it.

Software Update is the one you need to freeze....I also froze I another one, but after checking it in TB it is called 'sysscope' pretty sure it was called OTAupdate or something similar!

Got root/unlocked bootloader?
is it safe for rooted/unlocked bootloader device?
i got this update a few weeks ago, would it have anything to do with my phone being generic and not tied to single network

No I don't recommend updating your device if your bootloader is unlocked. I did it with my phone and my phone ended in a semi brick

I'm on Rogers in Canada and haven't gotten an update yet - checked this morning. My phone's currently running build 181.
The SE page also says theres no update. Maybe it was just a Radio-carrier update

thats becuase your firmware is 2.3.2 not 2.3.3
you got the point update weve had since release.
gingerbrick does not work on 2.3.3 fact!
ok i see but it's not a problem for me i used root only to move apps. now that i know adb command ... the other stuff i don't need them seriously.
I do prefer getting update than having root that i use once a year

Hi Zuki,
Normally Kies always takes the latest update of original firmware (region). If you're actually able to use others than AT&T it will always be the case before and after updates.
And if I'm not wrong, a Network lock is only placed on a phone before the sale, not with updates.
I hope it helps.
Kr,
John

I haven't rooted and I could download and apply the OTA fine, so it would appear that rooting prevents OTA!

I install application called OTA ROOT KEEPER which allow me to unroot the device and re root again, but also nothing happens after unroot it
Why don't you check threads before you open new one?!
I opened one and we said everything there...

I have a Sony Xperia m5 and I am new to rooting and all
But my question is what happens if I update my phone with an Xperia system update while it is rooted and has xposed installed on android os 5.1
Is it the same as an android os update or different and what will happen?
It will fail.

You are gonna have to go back to completely stock. You have to understand that if you mod your device you wither give up updates or get used to going back to complete stock then update.

I'll just block the updates
That is always an option but makes you vulnerable to any exploits that the monthly security patches fix.
Hey guys,
I recently unlocked and rooted my device, so I was able to update it. I did so. I downloaded the Huawei Update Extracter, downloaded the latest L24 B151 and installed via fastboot the boot.img and the system.img. Everything went well so far, but when I go to "About the Telephone"-Screen, it says that I'm still running my old B120-Version. The Android-Secruity-Patch is from March 2016 though. Is that a common problem? Or have I forgot a to flash a certain file? I really would like to update the information on this screen.
Thanks for your help, guys, and I'm sorry for my ****ty english.
By the way, the device's from germany and originally had the L21 B120 Version running.

The L24 files won't work correctly on your phone
you need this >> http://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-5x/how-to/kiw-l21-c432b130-uk-revert-package-t3368480
and it will OTA update to B140, your model does not have B151 yet

Thanks. I used this tutorial and I think I can point out some changes to the original stock rom.
The icons changed, the status bar is now transparent, the security-patch is updated, other pre installed apps are installed and the pre installed apps that were on the old build are now updated. Aswell I can use Google Voice now as standard voice mail option. So, I don't see any reason to get the B140 version. Maybe it's not working fully correct, but the only problem I found is that the Build is not displayed correctly but that's not compromising the usability of the system.

I'm aware of the guide. you could have just used my rom here > http://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-5x/development/rom-stock-b151-stock-rooted-deodexed-t3355130.
but doing it this way you will never get the firmware updates, that's why I pointed you to the correct way to update your phone

Ah, okay. Thanks for that. I'll give it a shot in the forseeable future.
But in the meantime, if anyone has any idea how to fix the display error of the Emui-About-Screen, I would be very thankfull.
